Claire watched their retreating backs, her hand resting on her belly, a helpless smile on her face. Myron ran a few steps ahead, then turned and shouted at her, "What are you standing there for? Let's go!""Me? Go with you?" she asked, startled."Of course! If Elijah and Patricia decide to unleash their fury, at least you can shield us!" Myron teased, slinging an arm around her shoulder with a cheeky grin."No way!" Claire shot back, playfully shoving him, though she couldn't hold back her laughter. "But hey, Calvin went to the restroom...""Restroom, my foot! It's been nearly an hour! He's either fallen in or ditched us completely. You're the only one naive enough to think he'd come back!"Claire froze, processing Myron's words. "He left?" she asked, stunned.Myron cast a glance toward Hayden, who was fetching the car, then leaned in and whispered, "Think about it—if Calvin hadn't left, would Nicole have drunk that much? And if she hadn't, would Hayden have kept his mouth shut all ni

As dusk fell, Marcia felt her attachment to Elijah deepen after her tears had dried. On their way back to the apartment, Elijah's phone rang several times.Marcia glanced at the caller ID and couldn't help but suggest, "Eli, maybe Myron has something urgent? Shouldn't you pick up?""Don't mind him," Elijah replied with a faint smile. "They might even be waiting at our doorstep right now.""No way!" Marcia looked at the time. "It's been over three hours; surely, they've gone back by now! And isn't Claire with them? She's pregnant, after all..."She couldn't help but worry about Claire. Elijah, ever calm, reassured her, "Don't worry. Myron has probably sent Claire home by now.""Really?"Just then, Elijah's phone buzzed again. This time, the screen displayed "Shirley.""Eli, it's Shirley calling!" Marcia quickly handed the phone to Elijah. He chuckled, took the phone, and promptly declined the call."Eli! Shirley's going to be upset!" Marcia clutched her chest in frustration."Shirley k

Myron casually draped his arm over Marcia's shoulder with a mischievous smile. "Patricia, why just think about it when you can act? I know a place that's open all night—great food and first-class service. Why don't we all grab a late-night meal?"Elijah's sharp, icy gaze locked onto Myron's hand. "Are you planning to lose that hand?" he asked coldly. But Myron was unfazed. "Patricia, Eli doesn't eat after 10 p.m. anyway. Why not the four of us go? Oh, and Claire might still be awake. We could invite her too."Marcia seriously considered it for a moment. "Why don't you call Claire? If she's hungry...""Hey!" Elijah shot up from the sofa, alarmed at the prospect of Marcia being tempted away by hotpot. He shoved Myron's hand aside and pulled Marcia into his arms. In a soft voice, he said, "If you're hungry, I'll cook something for you. It's nearly midnight, and Claire's pregnant—she's definitely asleep.""Patricia! Claire's not sleeping; in fact, she's starving and thrilled to join us!"

Marcia leaned against the elevator wall, unable to suppress the smile playing on her lips. Warmth from the hearty meal spread through her, and she tightly held Eli's slightly sweaty hand, unwilling to let go.Elijah glanced at her, his gaze darkening further without her noticing. His breathing grew heavier as he rasped, "Marcia, do you remember what you promised me outside just now? You haven't forgotten, have you?"Marcia tilted her head. "What?""You said you'd make sure I was well-fed when we got home. Don't tell me you've forgotten."Marcia chuckled softly. "I haven't forgotten, don't worry. Once we're home, you can take a shower first. When you're done, come find me in the bedroom." She winked playfully, her eyes sparkling. "I promise you'll be satisfied."Elijah poked her forehead lightly. "You said it, not me."Without warning, he scooped her into his arms as soon as the elevator doors slid open and strode out."Ah! Elijah, slow down!" Marcia squealed, hooking her arms around h

"Friends? I thought she might be your girlfriend!" Rebecca teased with a soft smile.As soon as you walked in, I recognized Eli immediately! It's been what, seven or eight years since we last saw each other after I left for France!" She glanced at Elijah shyly and added softly, "I just returned from France a few days ago. Who would've thought I'd run into you today, Eli? What a coincidence!"Elijah was momentarily taken aback. "Oh? Really? Haha, what a coincidence!"He seemed unaware of what he was saying, but Marcia certainly wasn't. Her face stiffened with barely contained anger.A coincidence? Then what am I supposed to be?Hayden's words echoed in her mind. If they had met just a few days earlier, I'd probably be out of the picture, and the one planning a wedding with him would've been Rebecca.Rebecca's eyes sparkled at Elijah's response. She giggled, her eyes forming crescent moons, and playfully patted his arm. "Eli, you're still as charming as ever! By the way, what are you u
